The interval between shells is getting longer and longer, which is a precursor to the end of the shelling. According to the most normal tactical arrangement, at this point, it was the turn of the enemy infantry to take the field.

Sure enough!

"Battalion commander, the little devils are starting to move. ”

Hearing the loud report from the hidden lookout not far away, Peng Peng nodded and said, "Continue to monitor and report after they step on the stone stairs." ”

When a recruit beside Peng Peng heard this, he asked with some confusion: "Battalion commander, aren't we going out now?"

"Don't worry, smoke a cigarette. As he spoke, Peng Peng took out a cigarette, scattered it for everyone, lit one, and explained with a smile while sucking: "Starting from the stone staircase at the bottom of the mountain, to the top, I measured it carefully, a total of 183 meters, 588 steps. The enemy wants to rush all the way up, but he has to climb for a long time, and he has to be tired and half dead. Moreover, the whole process is a straight line, and there are thorn forests on both sides, and they have nowhere to hide if they want to. So, let's get closer and fight again. At that time, they can't retreat even if they want to, so they can only rush hard. ”

Because of this terrain and man-made obstacles, this stone staircase goes up and down, and there is a defense line on the top of the mountain, which is also conducive to the concentration of firepower and the deployment of personnel, which can greatly transfer the redundant personnel out but help defend other places...... Originally, it was planned to build a defense line at the lower end and the middle of the stone staircase, but after Zhang Qingshan's field investigation, he felt that there was no need to build a defense line at the foot of the mountain (there was only a sentry post). And the middle line of defense, because of time and manpower and material resources, has not yet had time to be established.

At this time, on the defense line at the top of the stone staircase, there were actually only four battalions and one company, and because of the terrain restrictions, only one platoon could be dispatched at a time, and the rest could only be used as preparation and auxiliary defense...... And this is again just in case, otherwise, two platoons take turns on it, plus two light machine guns and some grenades will be enough.

After two or three minutes, the lookout post was heard reporting again, and the little devil began to step up the stone stairs.

Peng Peng looked at his watch, and then listened to it: It's been a minute and a half, and I didn't hear the shells, so it seems that the shelling of the little devil is over...... In fact, this is a subjective mistake made by the little devils, or a habitual mistake: they still dealt with Qinglong Mountain according to the ordinary way of attacking the position, but they didn't notice that the stone stairs were so long and so high. The most correct way to play was to continue the artillery bombardment, so as to cover the infantry who began to attack at the lower end of the stone staircase, and at least wait for the infantry to climb halfway up the stone staircase before stopping. In this way, there will be no accidental injuries, and effective artillery support can be carried out on the attacking infantry.

If you don't say that the crooked fight is right, Peng Peng still deliberately puts the little devil closer before fighting.

To be a dog for a little devil, of course, you must have the consciousness of sending you to death!

No, although there are only more than a dozen little devils behind the palace, but in front of them, it is a group of two devils who take the lead...... No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that these more than a dozen little devils are not here to fight at all, but to supervise the team. But it's normal to think about it, it's a person who can see at a glance the difficulty of wanting to take Qinglong Mountain from the front, if you don't find someone to try, how can you rashly send your own people to attack as soon as you come up. It just so happens that there are dogs that don't need to be used, so I can't say it. Anyway, it was someone else's dog who died, so I don't feel distressed.

Looking at the one hundred and ten two devils at the bottom of the mountain and a small group of little devils behind, each with a gun in their hands, bent over, and rushed up the stone ladder, they looked at the top cautiously, and cheered each other on from time to time. Peng Peng, who was lying on the edge of the tunnel, put down his binoculars and shouted to the surroundings: "Comrades, listen to my orders and fight again...... Don't rush to shoot, put the enemy closer and kill them one by one. ”

After speaking, he picked up the binoculars again to observe the temporary artillery position of the little devil under the mountain, his brows furrowed slightly, and his heart was a little depressed: The little devil is so rampant, too unsightly, not only dare to put the artillery position so close, but also dare to put it out openly, this is simply bullying us without artillery! Damn, if the artillery company is still here, at this time, one cannon will be enough for all the little devil's artillerymen to go back to their hometowns. It's a pity~!

I put down the binoculars, touched my pocket, and was about to smoke a cigarette, but out of the corner of my eye, I found a comrade not far from the left, swallowing saliva. If you look closely, the sweat on this guy's face is falling down his cheeks, and the fingers of his right hand are a little white...... This is the result of too much tension.

Peng Peng's brows furrowed slightly, and then he looked at other people, and found that a small number of recruits were relatively nervous.

That's not going to work!

After pondering for a while, the allotment suddenly burst out laughing.

Seeing that the others were puzzled, he pointed down, smiled and asked loudly: "Comrades, look at these dogs below, they climb the mountain so slowly, if you put a turtle shell on their backs, will they be like turtles......?"

In fact, the little devils and the second devils climbed very quickly, but because of the angle, from Peng Peng's point of view, the little devils and the second devils below climbed very slowly.

The veterans all understood that Peng Peng was going to use jokes to hit the enemy for the last time before the war, improve morale, and relieve everyone's tension. I don't know how to cooperate.

"Battalion commander, I have a suggestion. ”

Seeing Peng Peng looking over, his eyes were full of approval, and the company commander said with a smile: "I think, when the battle is over, let's use wooden planks to make more turtle shells, and then let all the captured prisoners wear them, and let them show us how the turtle climbs the mountain again from beginning to end, how about it?"

The crowd burst into laughter, and they all came up with their own ideas to perfect this teasing of the captives...... Of course, the veterans know better that this matter is just talking, after all, the party, government and military regulations are there, and the preferential treatment of prisoners is not a joke - unless Zhang Qingshan wants to make a mistake again, how can it be possible to make everyone's dream come true.

"Okay! ”

In the joke, the soldiers were not nervous, and the two devils also climbed to almost half the distance of the stone staircase.

Peng Peng opened the safety of the box gun, leaned on the barrel of the gun, and was about to pull the trigger, but he thought of something, and whispered to the two soldiers beside him: "You two go and give orders to the two machine gunners respectively, so that they should not shoot, so that the enemy will think that we have not lightly put machine guns here." Wait until the enemy gets closer, and follow my orders. ”

It wasn't until the two fighters ran to the left and right machine gunners to give the order that he shouted "Shoot me!" and pulled the trigger on the enemy aiming below.

"Smack!"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Peng Peng saw it very clearly, he shot first, and the first shot rang out, and the target immediately fell backwards with his chest covered......

The first wave of gunfire rang out, and seven or eight of the two devils who rushed to the front immediately fell to the ground, and the screams made people's hearts tremble, and the abnormal sound of gunshots and bullets shuttling on it made people's scalps tingle.

For a while, the two devils immediately retreated while hiding.

Many of the second devils didn't even dare to fight back, and ran directly down the mountain.

However, to be a dog is to have the consciousness of a dog.

How could the little devil warlords who followed their ass let them get their way?

These little devils can be good to people and have no humanity, how can they be soft on these dogs?

No, as soon as they saw that these dogs did not bite the enemy, but wanted to run, they didn't even ask, and immediately raised their guns and shot.

The six or seven second devils at the back fell to the ground in response, and almost all of them were headshots - this was even more ferocious than the Eighth Route Army above.

In front, the Eighth Route Army is killing like a point shot, and there are little devils in the back who don't treat them as human beings.

At this time, after all, there have been no major casualties, and the machine gunners under Peng Peng's men have not yet fired, so the lethality and influence caused are not great, and the two devils have not lost their minds, so they naturally dare not jump over the wall to resist the little devils.

Just when the little devils saw that these two devils were still there struggling to dodge and dodge, they actually held the 38 big covers with bayonets on them, lined up in several rows, and stepped forward step by step to force them. Helplessly, under the leadership of the leader of the two devils, the two devils could only continue to rush forward.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The fighters of the assault regiment were condescending, and they were covered by tunnels, so they naturally took advantage of it.

The two devils only have a stone ladder about two meters wide to walk, and there are thorns on both sides, so they can only rush while fighting. Later, the two devils didn't care about the thorns, and they all went to the thorns to dodge the bullets fired from above - although it hurts to be pierced by thorns, it is better than being bitten by a bullet and taking a small life, right?

Although the speed of the two devils was slow, after all, there were hundreds of people, and under the persecution of the little devil supervision team, although the steps were difficult and they were always frightened, but after paying the price of twenty or thirty casualties, they finally advanced a little. At this time, they were about forty meters away from the defensive line on the top of the mountain.

I don't know if the little devil is considering it from the aspect of saving shells, or if he really doesn't treat the two devils as people, or if he has other plans, at this time, as long as the little devils can use artillery fire to cover, these two devils are a little more bloody, then the possibility of attacking Qinglong Mountain will become greater.

But the little devil just didn't open fire, but let the Overseer persecute them even more fiercely, like driving sheep. Even, their guns were not aimed at the defense line on the top of the mountain, but at the back of the two devils, which shows that they really don't take the lives of the two devils seriously.

The two devils are bitter in their hearts, because they have also been soldiers who have fought before, and they naturally understand that the closer they are to the opponent's defense line, the more difficult it is to attack, the more fierce the opponent's resistance will inevitably be, and the greater the casualties paid by their own side.

This way of attacking, only thirty or forty meters away, paid the price of twenty or thirty comrades-in-arms, and the remaining forty meters, naturally, really have to be filled with human lives - the key is that this terrain really makes them aggrieved, let alone attack it one way, the key is that there is no place to hide.

Finally, their dream came true, and Peng Peng fulfilled their wish without hesitation!

"Heavy, hit me hard!"

"Da! da! da......"

Two light machine guns rang out, and in the flickering of two tongues of fire, bullets swept towards them like flying silver snakes......
